GT-R Front Mount Intercooler

Front Mount Intercooler for the Nissan GT-R: a larger front mount intercooler with pipework.

Radiators, intercoolers, oil coolers and hoses. Turbo cars on track run out of cooling before they run out of power, and heat soak is the reason many feel slower on the second lap. The R35 GT-R is a supercar with Nissan servicing costs attached, and the dual clutch GR6 gearbox is the part every owner learns about.

Fitting

Labour guide: about 3 hours. Japanese manufacturers change parts by build date and by market, and grey imports add a second layer to that. Send the VIN or chassis number with the order and we confirm the part against the build data before anything is dispatched. For imported cars send the chassis plate, because the UK registration will not tell us enough. We are an independent parts specialist for Japanese cars. We are not Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mazda, Subaru or Mitsubishi and are not appointed by any of them; the names are their trademarks and are used here to describe fitment. We stock genuine, OEM and quality aftermarket side by side and every listing says which is which, because the price difference is real and so, sometimes, is the quality difference. Performance modifications must be declared to your insurer before you drive the car. Most specialist insurers are happy with sensible parts; an undeclared modification can void a claim entirely. We do not sell decat pipes, particulate filter deletes, EGR blanks, emulators, or crackle and pop calibrations. They are illegal on a road car in the UK, an MOT failure and they void insurance. Every performance part here keeps the emissions equipment working.

Which version to buy

Standard is the specification we would fit to our own car. There is one specification of this, because it is the one we would fit to our own cars and a cheaper version would not be doing you a favour.
